Steven Aftergood at the Federation of American Scientists presents <em><a href="http://www.fas.org/blog/secrecy/2011/06/space_nuclear_power.html">Fifty Years of Space Nuclear Power</a></em>
"A plutonium fueled RTG that was deployed in 1965 by the CIA not in space but on a mountaintop in the Himalayas (to help monitor Chinese nuclear tests) continues to generate anxiety, not electricity, more than four decades after it was lost in place.

<a href="http://www.guardian.co.uk/oil/story/0,11319,714504,00.html">Revelations regarding Venezualen Coup</a> Greg Palast, who's been at the front of this story ever since predicting it, gives enlightening details behind the events of Apil. It barely had anything to do with the protests and riots - Chavez was tipped off by an OPEC minister days before the coup was launched. He hid loyal soldiers in the Presidential palace and once Carmona was installed he became as much a hostage as Chavez. Chavez also says he has photos, videos and the names of American officers who entered the coup plotters' headquarters. tag:metafilter.com,2002:site.17107Mon, 13 May 2002 14:56:48 -0800raakaU.S.' first Afghanistan conflict casualty may be C.I.A. operative "Mike"http://www.metafilter.com/12619/US%2Dfirst%2DAfghanistan%2Dconflict%2Dcasualty%2Dmay%2Dbe%2DCIA%2Doperative%2DMike
<a href="http://www.time.com/time/nation/article/0,8599,185652,00.html">U.S.' first Afghanistan conflict casualty may be C.I.A. operative "Mike"</a> Time magazine's Alex Perry reported from the scene outside Mazar-i-Sharif that at least one American, whom he identified as "Mike'' and said belonged to U.S. special operations forces, was missing and presumed dead after prisoners began firing smuggled weapons. If the man was confirmed as a soldier, it would be the first known U.S. combat death in Afghanistan since Washington began attacking Taliban forces -– although it is suspected that "Mike" is a covert CIA operative. tag:metafilter.com,2001:site.12619Sun, 25 Nov 2001 20:43:38 -0800marc-hamilton
